TALEoUAH, l. T., Nov. 2s.-Senator
Soggy said if any of his party were ap
pealing to any authority except the con-
stitution and iawsof the Cherokee nation
he was not with them. He said this
evening that two prominent. Nationalist
senators, seeing the turn things were
taking, and getting alarmed ct the situa.
ton, have come to the conclusion t o ACT
with the Downings in the count of
the votes for chief, and seat Mayes, as
they are convinced that he was
elected. Ii they do this it will settle
things, but if they recede things will be
more and more complicated, as each day
brings forth more or less schemes of one
kind or another, until some sort of
scheme to hurt the country will be hit
upon. This is what most of them fear
on both sides. The is certain to be moth
ing done in the senate in the way of
breaking the deadlock till Tuesday,
as a great many members and
senators have gone home to stay until
Monday. About twenty witnesses were
summoned to Fort Smith in the Boudl-

EXPLOSION AT MILWAUKEE,.
Fatal Resnlts of an Explosion at I'll
Kirby House.

Fatal Results of an Explosion. at the
Kirby House.
MILWAUKEE,, Wis. Nov. 2S-At $50
this morning a sudden booming sound,
followed by conclusion of air and the
sound of falling walls, startled the resi-
dents of Printing House square and
brought every mar in the neighborhood
to his feet. AS soon as the steam had
cleared away a great ragged rent was
seen in the walls of the Kirby house,
women mingled with the sounds of break
ing glass and falling bricks. The explo-
sion was in the kitchen and was caused
by the bursting of that part of the kitchen
range known rs the water back, which was
about twenty ncheslongand a foot square.
The water passing through this through
supply pipe to the boiler supply pipe had
frozen, and plumbers had been trying all
morning to thaw it out. 1t is supposed
the water got too low In the waterback,
and turned into steam SO rapidly that an
explosion followed, tearing every thing to
pieces. Eleven were in the kitchen at
the time of the explosion, and all are
more or less injured. Miss Annie Ken
needy received terrible injuries, which
will probably prove fatal. A fire alarm
was sent In, and the girls were extricat-
ed from the falling walls and partitions,
and are being cared for in the parlor OF
the Kirby house. About II O'Clock the
dead body of Mrs. e. NJ. Gage was taken
from the ruins and removed to the
morgue. The loss will be about SIS, 900.
Across the alley, directly opposite,
where the force of the explosion was
greatest, is the Sentinel book bindery.
The alley is only fifteen feet wide, and
falling bricks and debris crashed through
the windows of the bindery where nine
'young women were employed. Anna
Myers was slightly injured, and Nellie
Thompson was cut badly, and her condi-
ton is critical. A lamp directly In
front of her was driven against her face.
She presented a pitiable sight. Her
head was n mass of blood both eyes
were cut and bruised so badly that she
could not see. The other girls escaped,
but were badly frightened. The explo-
sion was SO great that many cases in the
Sentinel composing room were pied.

twelve business houses. The lost is at
least $40, 600, besides causing the loss Of
six lives, all negroes, who were caught
in the ruins of the building blown down
where a negro festival was in progress.
The wind was very violent and was ac-
computed by a roaring noise that was
fearfu!ly alarming. The town presents
8 most d~ilapidated appearance. Not an
awning is left. There are gaping holes
in the walls, and the debris Of the roofs
and houses is scattered over the streets
with a cold norther rafting the frag-
ments of the tin roofs. Storms of this
kind are very rare in Texas.
